Matt Gifford	Tuesday 26 August 2008 2:19:42 am Hi all I'm working on a FLEX app with Exponential. I am drawing out the relevant content for each page, but want to drill down further. For example, the data_text column in the db holds the xml created by ezPub which has all of the text and content for that particular item. I really want to drill down further to bypass the xml and the grab the actual content, for example, the html text within a left_column, or a lat/long value from a googlemap extension. I have done this within ezPub itself, by drilling down within the template and using the object data map, but can I access the specific values from within the database, or is it only within the xml? Many thanks, Matt

Hi all

I'm working on a FLEX app with Exponential. I am drawing out the relevant content for each page, but want to drill down further. For example, the data_text column in the db holds the xml created by ezPub which has all of the text and content for that particular item.

I really want to drill down further to bypass the xml and the grab the actual content, for example, the html text within a left_column, or a lat/long value from a googlemap extension.

I have done this within ezPub itself, by drilling down within the template and using the object data map, but can I access the specific values from within the database, or is it only within the xml?

Many thanks,
